I spent the first part of my life just laying inside, I thought that I was happy but I was just being careless Cause when I looked up and saw the sunlight, That’s what I realized I’d wasted my time. And it was raining, Oh how I started laughing, You know I’d never seen water come down from the sky. So I jumped straight out the window, Fell right to the ground, And made such a lovely sound. My only regret Was missing the puddle of water to the left. And I wept, I never slept, Never slept again. Trust me I've never seen a sight, As pretty as your eyes, And I've seen a rainbow before. I've climbed a mountain, Crossed a prairie easy as can be. I’ve swam an ocean, Scared and broken, But you’re the one that took my breath away. My only regret Was passing you in the hallway, When I could have slept With you by my side. When the rain tapped on my window, I opened up the blinds. And as I leaned against my pillow, The sun shone through my heart. I may love when the sky is blue, But not as much as I love you. And I may love the forest and fresh air, But not as much as I love the feeling of your hair.

The landscape of time and space. I could never pretend That we weren't lost two hours ago. Oh, I wish that I Didn't take all of your Advice. Our thoughts have been brought to fame, Your game is over. The man is gone, And with him all my clovers. What have we come to? Nothing. We'd forgotten ourselves. Oh, I wish that I Didn't take all of your Advice. Our thought have been brought to fame, Your game is over. The man is gone, And with him all my clovers.

They say that Y2K Will bring destruction upon us As though we were made from clay. But I think that I know better I know that little black holes will tear us apart, Like scissors being taken to a sweater. So how many times must we be shown That everything will be okay? And I think that all those naysayers Will just rue the day When the sun comes up and starts Another day. Oh Robert Frost predicted that the world would end In Fire and Ice. Harold Camping cried for rapture, We're still here, Maybe next time he'll think twice. Halley's comet didn't kill us, The Jupiter Effect didn't kill us, Our existence hasn't been concluded, All those doomsayers are just stupid. So how many times must we be shown That everything will be okay? And I think that all those naysayers Will just rue the day When the sun comes up and starts Another day. The only threat to ourselves, It seems, Is just ourselves.

If I had one more wish, I'd wish for Her to be As happy as me...

Drifting swiftly through the lake thinking, Just how I could stop my ship from sinking. I was lost... I'd found myself but at what cost? When the ripples subsided, What was left of me? Drifting swiftly through the lake thinking, Just how I could stop my ship from sinking. I was lost... I'd found myself but at what cost? When the ripples subsided, What was left of me? And I said, "I can't believe Just how I happened to come home again."

Let the waves of wisdom Sweep me smoothly 'Cross the kingdom of truth and truly Lessen the layers, Dry the drains, And soothe the sayers of proliferating pains. My voice has vanished. It's been replaced by the constant beating of my heart. My mind wanders only to you. What makes me worth your time? I guess I don't have a clue. Fumbling through the cavern of sighs I fell into your enchanting emerald eyes. My voice has vanished. It's been replaced by the constant beating of my heart. My mind wanders only to you. What makes me worth your time? I guess I don't have a clue. I can't say the sun Has missed me much, But it sure shined brighter When it found your touch. And who could blame the moon, For arriving just a bit too soon To greet you?
7.
In my dreams, You're wide awake. Am I asleep in yours? 'Cause sometimes It feels Like you do not Want to be around me. Questions fly through my mind... But I know, Cause your voice Rings true In my head, That love is the answer. So don't tell me That you Don't feel it.

People ask me, "What's the rush?" And I'll just say, "I'm cold." So sick of dealing with things That can't be controlled. Blue mat miseries, Lying on the floor. Wet, dirty, and shaken, Underneath the door. I mean, the point is this: I have an opinion. I just want To kiss you. We're all so polarized, It's just part of being human. That's what brought me back, Just that simple fact That no matter our differences, We're all the same. Maybe not our names Or our preference of games, But you and I Have little reason to complain. I don't need notes to express myself, But they help.

about

I wrote these songs during some emotional times in my life so they mean a lot to me and I can only hope that they make some sort of impact on you. Our perception of anything is distorted, even of something that we see every day. Even of something as simple and beautiful as the sunrise.
